Bayer AI policy
Varies by programChecked November 9, 2026
In short
Bayer's grants and contributions portal publishes no rule on applicants' or reviewers' use of AI. The Bayer Foundation Scientific Fellowships guidelines (September 2026, for the 2027 cycle) say the required 1-minute motivation video may not contain AI-generated content.
For applicants
- Bayer Foundation Scientific Fellowships: the 1-minute motivation video must show you clearly and may not use editing techniques, special effects, filters or AI-generated content.[1]
